CONSTRICT
NO EDEN

Across No Eden’s six tracks, CONSTRICT scrape the flesh from the 1990s and 2000s most blasphemous musical scenes and regurgitate it in a truly deranged fashion; rife with IMMOLATIONesque guitar harmonies and unapologetic guttural screeds against blind faith and complacency, the EP is a no-frills joyride through the filth, violence, and pain of human existence. CONSTRICT skillfully leap from the massive metallic riffage of the opening title track to powerful hardcore stomps like “Deceiver” and “Bliss of Power,” commanded capably by the lyrical prowess and vocal fury of frontman Anthonie Gonzalez. The EP closes with “Mantra,” which features an unforgettably adept blend of every heinous offering displayed on the previous five tracks and best represents the group’s mission statement: to provide genre-flouting heavy music free of the tired tropes and orthodoxies that dominate so much of today’s art and music.
